how do you know those apartments are for poor people? you know taiwan. many of those ugly dirty apartments are considered "luxury" and inside can look like palaces!! its just that taiwanese dont care about exterior and let their buildings look like it's for poor people but spend all their money on nice interiors!!
they should at least renovate the exterior. even a new paint job. OR JUST FRICKIN' CLEAN IT!!!!!!!!!
IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK THAT THEY CLEAN IT???? or dont tell: foreigners dont understand that this is taiwanese lifestyle and should respect taiwanese culture/history/economics, etc.
